A salesman receives a commission of $4 for every pair of dress shoes he sells. He is paid $3 for every pair of athletic shoes he sells. After selling 13 pairs of shoes in a day, his commission was $48. How many pairs of each kind of shoe did he sell that day?

he sold 9 pairs of dress shoes.

he sold 4 pairs of athletic shoes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of pairs of dress shoes that he sells.

Let y represent the number of pairs of athletic shoes that he sells.

The total number of pairs of shoes that he sold in a day is 13. It means that

x + y = 13

The salesman receives a commission of $4 for every pair of dress shoes he sells. He is paid $3 for every pair of athletic shoes he sells. The commission that he got on that day was $48. It means that

4x + 3y = 48- - - - - - - - - - 1

Substituting x = 13 - y into equation 1, it becomes

4(13 - y) + 3y = 48

52 - 4y + 3y = 48

- 4y + 3y = 48 - 52

- y = - 4

y = 4

x = 13 - y = 13 - 4

x = 9

answer: e 9, 5.75

step-by-step explanation:

step 1

find the variation ab in the x coordinate

delta x=(x2-x1)=10-> 8 units

find the variation ab  in the y coordinate 

delta y=(y2-y1)=6-> 2 units

step 2

find the coordinates point c

  x coordinate 

cx=ax+delta x*2/> cx=2+8*(2/> cx=3

  y coordinate 

cy=ay+delta y*2/> cy=4+2*(2/> cy=4.25

the coordinates of point c are (3,4.25)

step 3

find the coordinates point d

  x  coordinate 

dx=ax+delta x*4/> dx=2+8*(4/> dx=4

  y  coordinate 

dy=ay+delta y*4/> dy=4+2*(4/> dy=4.5

the coordinates of point d are (4, 4.5)

step 4

find the coordinates point e

  x  coordinate 

ex=ax+delta x*4/> ex=2+8*(6/> ex=5

  y  coordinate 

ey=ay+delta y*4/> ey=4+2*(6/> ey=4.75

the coordinates of point e are (5, 4.75)

step 5

find the coordinates point f

  x  coordinate 

fx=ax+delta x*4/> fx=2+8*(8/> fx=6

  y  coordinate 

fy=ay+delta y*4/> fy=4+2*(8/> fy=5

the coordinates of point f are (6,5)

step 6

find the coordinates point g

  x  coordinate 

gx=ax+delta x*4/> gx=2+8*(10/> gx=7

  y  coordinate 

gy=ay+delta y*4/> gy=4+2*(10/> gy=5.25

the coordinates of point g are (7,5.25)

step 7

find the coordinates point h

  x  coordinate 

hx=ax+delta x*4/> hx=2+8*(12/> hx=8

  y  coordinate 

hy=ay+delta y*4/> hy=4+2*(12/> hy=5.5

the coordinates of point h are (8,5.5)

step 8

find the coordinates point i

  x  coordinate 

ix=ax+delta x*4/> ix=2+8*(14/> ix=9

  y  coordinate 

iy=ay+delta y*4/> iy=4+2*(14/> iy=5.75

the coordinates of point i are (9,5.75)
